happy friday

Posted on August 12, 2016 by simpleandchic

I flew to Florida on Tuesday (and almost missed my flight because we drove to the wrong airport in Milan… let’s just say it was a stressy and sweaty departure) so this week has all been about working working working (we are going to the NYNOW trade show next week for atelierBOEMIA!) with an evening break of frozen margaritas. I’m going to try to relax a bit this weekend before the marathon next week and definitely going to visit Sanibel Island…

Here are 3 things making me happy:

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday! It was so so hot in Switzerland this week (and I’m not used to it anymore) so I fully enjoyed working outside! I started a new interior design project this week and finished another so I’m going to celebrate this weekend, starting with a nice barbecue tonight, a girls night out tomorrow and maybe some relaxing time on Sunday…

Here are 3 things making me happy:

Think Pink!

The perfect companion for hot summer days!

My new favorite Prada inspired sandals from Mango!

Have a great weekend! (you can follow me on INSTAGRAM)

This week flew by so quickly that I cannot believe it is Friday again! The weather got really cold again (bummer I already put all my summer clothes back in the closet!) so we are staying cosy inside with friends coming over tonight and a birthday celebration tomorrow…

Here are 3 things making me happy:

Pretty pink flowers

red cocktail

A pretty cocktail I made the other night (to counter-balance work related stress experience all week…) – Aperol + Prosecco + fresh strawberries

red shoes on bicycle

Fixed my bicycle for the nice season so I’m officially on the road again!

I wish you all a nice weekend!

cointreau fizz in a diy pineapple cup by a pair and a spare

cointreau fizz a pair and a spare 1

A pair and a spare is definitely one of the blogs I ready daily. I like how easy all the diy projects are and the exotic touch to all the projects Geneva creates (living between Hong Kong and Australia certainly helps). This cocktail looks absolutely yummy and living in the northern winter hemisphere, these beach pictures make me feel like I’m on holidays…

apple cider autumn cocktail by glitter guide

Posted on November 16, 2015 by simpleandchic

I love to change my cocktails with the seasons. My friend M. is from Normandy and her parents always bring her homemade cider and we were discussing how we could “style it up” a bit the other day. I found this great recipe on the Glitter Guide that I’m going to try ASAP…

Fresh apple cider
1 ½ ounces spiced rum
1 teaspoon thyme-flavored simple syrup
Splash lemon juice
Sparkling wine or Champagne
A few apple slices and sprigs of thyme (for garnish)

Combine cider, rum, simple syrup and lemon juice in a shaker. Pour over ice and top with sparkling wine or Champagne. Garnish with thyme and apple slices.
